Chapter 1635: The Lord's Thoughts and Unexpected News
"Your Excellency, Manager, please feel free to speak."
Lei Xiao looked at our manager's hesitant appearance and still maintained a faint smile.
"Haha, it's not a big deal."
Our manager was obviously thinking about the wording. He nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, among the powerful people from the first-class forces attending the banquet this time, there are some arrogant guys. Please don't let those guys ruin your mood."
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, Mr. Administrator. I will be sensible."
There was a hint of solemnity in Lei Xiao's eyes and he nodded slightly.
Although the other party said it in a very euphemistic way, the meaning was self-evident.
Most of the powerful participants sent by the first-rate forces have status and position in their tribes and have considerable say in their respective forces. Once a disagreement arises between us and the other side, and the other side holds a grudge against us, it is very likely that it will eventually evolve into a war between forces.
With our current strength, it is obviously difficult to contend with any behemoth standing at the top of all races, even the dark elves who have declined somewhat in recent years.
To take a step back, even if we only look at the overall strength of the participants, we definitely do not have any advantage, and Lei Xiao is also well aware of this.
Although his own strength is no longer what it used to be, Lei Xiao will not be inflated or arrogant at all. This is one of the key reasons why we can come this far.
"Then I am relieved. If your Majesty makes any mistake, I and others will be blamed."
Our manager's tone returned to normal, and he continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, we just received a notice from the Market Brotherhood, saying that before the dinner, a special Fantasy Film Market will be held, and all participants can participate!"
"Oh?"
Hearing the voice, Lei Xiao immediately became interested and opened his eyes wide involuntarily.
As we all know, although major film markets are often held in various places, they actually have extremely strict entry requirements. Only forces and individuals who have obtained invitations are eligible to participate. The higher the level of the film market, the more stringent the entry requirements.
Especially those shadow markets held in the territory of first-rate forces will never invite strong people from second-rate forces to participate, which makes it difficult for the strong people from second-rate forces to get access to top-level equipment and other top-level resources. This is the reason why there are not many sixth-level unupgraded equipment among second-rate forces.
Under the premise that the first-rate forces have monopolized the sixth-order alchemy technology, forging technology and magic craft technology, if the strong men of the second-rate forces want to obtain these equipment, the main source is the strong individuals of the first-rate forces who are invited to the second-rate forces' Shadow Market.
However, these strong men often represent individuals, so the number of equipment they use is naturally extremely limited.
Not only that, since the resources required to manufacture sixth-tier equipment and potions are basically only produced in the territories of first-tier forces, this further limits the difficulty for second-tier forces to obtain sixth-tier equipment.
"So far, although I have obtained a lot of sixth-level equipment blueprints and potion formulas through comprehensive upgrades, I have also quietly trained a group of elite sixth-level forgers and alchemists to learn and manufacture, breaking through the technical barriers set by first-class forces."
"However, due to the shortage of some top-level forging resources and natural treasures, many projects have been delayed until now. Even if I disassemble a large number of equipment, there is always some missing. After all, there are many types of equipment, and the sixth-level forging blueprints I currently have are relatively limited."
"In addition, although I can successfully produce fifth-level permanent strength-enhancing potions, and as the alchemists become more skilled, the efficiency and output are steadily increasing. However, I have not yet found a new, unupgraded fifth-level potion formula, so I am still unable to produce sixth-level permanent strength-enhancing potions."
"If we can obtain a fifth-tier new potion formula or some of the top-level resources we lack at this special Fantasy Film Market, it will be a great gain!"
Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation emerged on Lei Xiao's face.
Among these, the most important one is naturally the new fifth-level potion formula that permanently enhances strength.
As long as he obtained this formula and upgraded it to a sixth-level potion formula, he would undoubtedly be able to produce a sixth-level potion that permanently enhanced his strength.
By then, as long as these sixth-order magic potions are upgraded, he will undoubtedly be able to steadily cultivate demigod-level strongmen!
In addition, one of the important purposes of this dinner trip is to find those first-rate powerful people who are willing to contact us and find a breakthrough in obtaining scarce resources and sixth-level unupgraded equipment.
But if I ask the other party directly, it would undoubtedly seem extremely presumptuous, and this sudden special market would be a good opportunity.
"Yes, it seems that we will definitely gain something this time."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then a trace of doubt emerged on his face. He asked our manager: "In the beginning, there should be no such activity in the dinner party, right? Why did the Market Brotherhood temporarily add this special Fantasy Film Market?"
"Your Majesty, you have asked the right question. This is exactly what we have been wondering about. After all, this is a temporary event, and the start time of the dinner has been postponed for a long time. This is unprecedented."
Our manager had no reservations about Lei Xiao and responded, "We guess that the dinner has not been prepared yet, or the elders of the market brotherhood were delayed by something, so they made this move temporarily."
"There is some truth to this. Anyway, this is an unexpected gain for us."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said slightly.
Then, it didn’t take long before our manager received the departure notice, and instantly teleported the Shadow Market to the designated location for the dinner, the Elf River.
Lei Xiao had also heard of this position.
It is located at the junction of the three major forces of light elves, dark elves and forest elves. It got its name because it passes through these three major forces in sequence. It is surrounded by dense forests, clear water and green mountains, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
However, Lei Xiao has never been here before, because Bingshi City has not yet fully recovered, and the transmission range is already limited to covering the territory of second-rate forces.
"It seems that I have to find a way to repair Ice Stone City as soon as possible. If I can't cover the entire plate with the transmission range, it will greatly affect my next actions."
As Lei Xiao thought about this, he climbed up the wall of the Shadow Market under the guidance of our manager and looked around. (End of this chapter)
